Peanut Butter Fudge Creams

Peanut Butter Fudge Creams are the best of both worlds. Fudge but without any nuts and so creamy that it almost melts in your mouth. Smooth and creamy.

Smooth and creamy peanut butter fudge that I had to take away from my husband, that is. He loved it. I loved it. Everybody loved it but I needed to bring something to the senior center. Ed won.

I just can not deny him so I made cookies the next day. You know what? He wanted me to keep those too! I had to explain that he had enough in the house and in the freezer and he will not remember that a certain cookie was missing. My child, my husband.

Ingredients

Instructions

Take an 8 by 8 inch Baking Pan and lay waxed paper across bottom of the pan. Make sure it covers the complete bottom of the pan and over the sides. Press down into the pan with it overlapping the sides at opposite ends because you will use these 'handles' to remove the fudge after it has cooled.

Boil the sugar, syrup and water together to just under 230°F soft ball stage on a candy thermometer. It will take a little while. Boil at an even stage on about a medium high and don't leave it. Make sure it does not boil over. You will probably need to adjust the heat every once in a while but keep at a climbing boil.

If you don't have a candy thermometer - when you think it is done you can also take a spoon and dip it in the boiling mixture. Drop a small drop or so into a glass of cold water. It will form a soft but firm ball.

Remove the mixture from the heat and gently drop the peanut butter into the center of the sugar mixture in the pan.

Do not stir.

Allow to sit until it is slightly cooled. Just a couple of minutes.

Start beating thoroughly until well blended.

It will start to stiffen a bit.

Pour into the prepared pan and let cool.

Remove the fudge from the pan by lifting the two 'handles' of the waxed paper.

Place on a cutting board and cut into 16 squares.

Recipe Notes

Store in a tightly covered dish or tin. They will keep in the fridge about 2 weeks or in the freezer for about 2 months. You may freeze them according to any of the directions in my article Preparing Food for the Freezer

Yes, you sure can. It just takes as little while as I described. The way to check without a thermometer is take a spoon and dip it in the boiling mixture. Drop a small drop or so into a glass of cold water. It will form a soft but firm ball.
